Thread: OK I almost shit myself

Pick a still evening and go out to your spot earlier. Line up on where you think she will come out and hunker down until she does. Your brain is more than seven times the size of hers. Use it to outsmart that bad girl.

This notion of pigs stalking/attacking/charging hunters is absolute bloody Walt Disney Hog Wash.What do you base your beliefs on?It's nothing more than a wives tale.Having run pig dogs for 35years I recon I've got a reasonable understanding of Sus Scrofa. Like every other introduced mammal into NZ,their strong natural reaction to a human threat is to get the hell out of it.Hence their acute hearing and smell defence.Although they,re not as leggy as a donk,they can still turn and burn at pace once the dreaded human threat is detected.Granted like many other mammals if cornered by you,with no line of escape, they will change from the default flight to fight mode but only because you have brought this situation about.Suckling sows with a strong maternal instinct will occasionally return to a squealing weaner if you have your mitts on it,but generally she,ll play the odds game and scarpper with the balance of the litter.Similarly bailed,cornered Boars with no other option will temporarily stand and fight to save it's skin as a result of the situation responsible by you again.Once shacken of the bail they will once again take to their heels as their natural flight mode.Funny thing is all these yarns about stalking pigs is that they are invariably HUGE which to me says to me a bit about the victim.

Boring. I was enjoying the Razorback story!

Get a load of this boar....

He ain't playin'! Yikes

That first pic is of a group chowing down on a big dead sow. I could hear them talking!
The first one said “It’s what she would have wanted”!
The second one said “I prefer LONG PORK”

Few of the boar that where shot out where I hunted in France.
They will charge both hunters and beaters! That’s the fun of it.
I’d not want to be wounded and be out there after dark.
I know there’s a big pig population around Chernobyl. Now they might get a taste for long pork with the war going on

Thanks for posting, this showed evidence pigs will attack and I notice it had plenty of opportunity to use it's flight mode but instead chose to fight.

I checked the credits at the end of the film and nowhere could I find this boar on Walt Disney's pay list so I guess this was real and proves pigs will attack.

That is a special 'Russian attack pig' bred and trained to sneak behind enemy lines and attack the troops at night
